Founded in 1993 by brothers Tom and David Gardner, The Motley Fool helps millions of people attain financial freedom through our website, podcasts, books, newspaper column, radio show, and premium investing services.

On CAPS, 96% of the 2,853 members who have rated Deere believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, Grahdodd, succinctly summed up the Deere bull case for our community: "Moat is the undisputed leader in Farm Equipment. Low PE, below market, nice way to play the feed-the-growing-population trend especially in Emerging Markets. Only issue I have is higher debt ... Berkshire is modest recent buyer."

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong four-star rating, Deere may not be your top choice.
